Network settings For OpenVPN don't take DNS

[Christopher Keddy]

For Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop edition. When creating a openvpn connection using the Network settings under IPv4 tab if you select
[x]Use this connection only for resources on its network

The DNS setting above does not get applied. When I disable this all traffic goes through and the DNS works. I need to use the DNS server on the other end of the tunnel because it has entries to resolve internal names.

I'm thinking this might be a bug with the implementation

When importing from a .opvn file I did have

push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.0.1"

Just to confirm I have taken my .ovpn file and imported it on Windows and Mac and it works fine for the tools that handle OpenVPN connections on those OSs
